News Corp. Eyes Jon Miller for Digital

News Corp. is in advanced talks to hire former AOL CEO Jon Miller in a new broad role that would have him oversee all of the conglomerate’s digital endeavors.

A final deal and announcement could come as early as next week, according to sources.

If signed, Miller would report directly to News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch and could carry the title of CEO of digital media, sources said.

Miller would be in charge of Fox Interactive Media — which houses top Web properties such as MySpace and IGN — and mobile entertainment arm Jamba.
